Was it rainy and cold, or was it sunny and muggy? Several of us were caught off guard last night when we experienced the good ol' Egnlish April showers..despite it being May. Happy May 4th no less for all our Star Wars fans!

So after a quick warm up we had a gentle jog down to Clothes for Causes where some of us got to work sorting clothes into colours, wondering with several items whether they were dresses or tops or clothes for people with tails?

We had so much fun with these dress/top/tail clothes in fact, that we forgot to take photos. So it looks like the guys just stood around having a nice chat when they actually disappeared entirely, scurrying into the mysterious underbelly of the shop and popping up again dragging huge bags of stock with them, blinking like little moles emerging from their underground tunnels.

We may have left one or two mole people down there but we're back in a month - just imagine how much sorting they can get done in that time.

Sara took us on a lovely scenic jog back along the river and then got us to work with a punishing fitness session.

Some of us were so crippled by the end that Andy had to peel us off the floor and bundle us in his van to take us home. Luckily I live right by the hospital so he dropped me off there and I live to tell the tale.

Until next time guys!

Sounds like you guys had fun. Sorry I couldn't make it, I was all ready to walk out the door when the rain hit! I'm a coward I know! I'll hopefully make it to the next one. 😊
